The Other Side of Why with Deondriea Cantrice
Most podcasts hand you answers. This one takes a few away. Every episode starts with the question you were never supposed to ask: Who told you that? And what has believing it cost you?
Thoughts Beliefs Real conversations for a more intentional you
The premise
You were handed the what. Rarely the why. Almost never the other side of it.
Somewhere along the way, you picked up rules about how to live, love, lead, and succeed. Nobody asked if you agreed. You just started obeying.
The Other Side of Why goes after those rules: the inherited beliefs, accepted truths, and unspoken expectations running your choices from the background. Through investigations and candid conversations, Deondriea follows each one back to where it started, and asks what it's still costing you.
Fair warning: you may not like every answer. You'll be glad you heard it anyway.
Who told you rest has to be earned?

Your host
Deondriea Cantrice has been asking why her whole life.
She was handed the statistics early: teen mom, first-generation, the first and only in most rooms she walked into. She rose from file clerk to global IT program leader by refusing to believe what she'd been told about who she could be.
Today she's an author, keynote speaker, certified confidence and executive coach, and the creator of Belief Interrogation™. On the mic, she's curious, direct, and unwilling to let a convenient answer go unquestioned. Including her own.
